Holbein Irodori Artist Gouache - Autumn, Set of 12, 15 ml, Tubes

I love Holbein's gouache and have been using it for about a year. Their gouache is excellent quality and not as pricy as some out there. This set has beautiful colors, including convenience colors, but easily mixed for a full range of hues. Also, the paints offer excellent coverage or opaqueness, a characteristic of gouache. The tubes are good-sized, 15 ml., so one gets plenty of paint.

I have the major brands and like these the best for the consistency. They are thick enough to cover, and don't have obvious fillers... You could thin and do some washy, watercolor-like effects with these. I don't know if they have honey. Some of the colors are just slightly sticky, but they are more fluid than say, Da Vinci, and while I like Da Vinci, these are a better consistency out of the tube for painting, but they wet down nicely, and they re-wet nicely and haven't cracked on the palette once dry. I haven't used a gouache that seems so loaded with pigment. And the colors in these seasonal sets are gorgeous. I don't usually go for mixed colors, but these palettes are gorgeous. The tubes are expensive, but these 40ish dollar sets are well worth the price, as are the 15 and 24 sets... A lot of the negative feelings people have about gouache is due to having used dry, bad gouache... These are lovely and mostly opaque. The orange yellow was the only one that leaned transparent.

I am so impressed with the quality of Holbein's gouache that I have no qualms at all in buying my second box set within a month. It is highly pigmented with rich vibrant colours and has a luxurious matte finish. Now that Holbein has these Irodori sets in accordance to seasonal themes with the gorgeous packaging, it couldn’t be more perfect. Amazing seller for making this beautiful Autumn set available here at a reasonable price and for being so prompt with all my queries. Thank you!
